I received both my bachelors and masters degrees from Tulane and at both graduation ceremonies there were many football players receiving degrees from the school of continuing studies. Care to explain this?

As a student at Tulane I can tell you first hand this is simply not true. A large number of the athletes enroll in the school of continuing studies, which is far from challenging to say the least. It's laughable that Tulane fans use academic standards as an excuse for poor athletic performance when it is simply not the case. Athletes at Tulane get the same breaks as athletes at every other major school. Tulane fans need to realize that Scott Cowen is the reason Tulane athletics can't compete on the big stage.

The pat down is not required. In lieu of the pat down, you have the option to go through the body scan, neither of which are a big deal. These comments demonstrate the sissy-fication of america; people simply complaining just to complain. A majority of people complaining about the TSA procedures haven't gone through either, if they had, they would realize how ridiculous they sound and how off base they are. Instead, people simply like to complain and repeat what others have said. Ultimately, you aren't obligated to fly. If it bothers you so much, gas up your car and drive.

everyone saying this will make us a big player in FA this year obviously doesn't follow the saints too closely. we are gonna be tight on cap space this offseason and loomis already ruled out a big FA signing. We will certainly bring in some FA's but no big names like some are claiming
